Summary

This dataset includes results from external skin swabbing of Rana boylii and Dicamptodon tenebrosus to test for the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis from Fox Creek in Mendocino County, California, in 2016-2020. Morphological measurements of swabbed animals were recorded, and Rana boylii had a unique identifier (pit tag) inserted beneath their skin for identification in future capture events. These data supports the following publication: Belasen, A.M., Peek, R.A., Adams, A.J., Russell, I.D., De León, M.E., Adams, M.J., Bettaso, J., Breedveld, K.G.H., Catenazzi, A., Dillingham, C.P. and Grear, D.A., 2024. Chytrid infections exhibit historical spread and contemporary seasonality in a declining stream-breeding frog. Royal Society [...]
